It wasn’t a great night for Tim Walz…
During Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate on CBS, Tim Walz stumbled uncomfortably when he was asked about reports that he lied about having been in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre in the spring of 1989.
“Look, I will be the first to tell you I have poured my heart into my community,” Walz said in a rambling initial response. “I’ve tried to do the best I can, but I’ve not been perfect, and I’m a knucklehead at times, but it’s always been about that those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years.”
Co-moderator Margaret Brennan pressed: “Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was, can you explain the discrepancy? “
“I got there that summer and misspoke on this,” Walz added, desperately trying to move on.
Brutal.
After the now-viral moment, Fox News contributor Joe Concha said he’d seen enough.
“Walz’s answer about lying about being in Hong Kong when he was in Nebraska during the Tiananmen Square massacre is beyond horrible. Rambled for 2 minutes, doesn’t answer why he lied. He eventually says he misspoke and was wobbly in doing so. I’ve seen enough. This is over,” Concha posted.
